Awesome thanks. For some reason I that I have to configure all the permissions from my Linux box where all the drives are located. So I was trying things like chmod 711 -R /media. But that was not doing it.

Permissions are set this was rwx=7, rw=6, x=1, so 777 means everyone can do anything, r=read, w=write, x=execute. Also the ownership is owner, group, and world, so 777 means everyone has the rights, if the user is the owner you could simply do #chmod -R 700 directory name and only the owner would have the rights instead of everyone else.

Real easy. We did it to create a "quarantine share" for Windows AV
agents to move viruses to. The share is world-writable - but not
readable by anyone.
